Background: Approximately 20% of acute ankle sprains progress to chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI), requiring surgical intervention. When only the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is ruptured, it is controversial whether to perform arthroscopic inferior extensor retinacular (IER) reinforcement.
Purpose: To assess the postoperative outcomes of IER reinforcement versus nonreinforcement in arthroscopic treatment of CLAI with ATFL-only injury.

Background: To execute comprehensive study about optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings in fibromyalgia (FM) to elaborate macula, optic disk changes.
Methods: A total of 84 participants comprising 44 FM patients and 40 healthy controls were included. Macular full thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL)+, GCL++, superficial vessel density (SVD), deep vessel density (DVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ), circumpapillary vessel density (cpVD), RNFL measurements were evaluated using OCT/OCTA.

Venous vascular malformations of the parotid gland are very rare vascular tumors, especially among adults. This case report discusses the presentation and challenges of diagnosing a venous vascular malformation of the parotid gland in a patient with previous oncologic history. Our patient is a 45-year-old female with a history of breast cancer, meningioma, and secreting pituitary adenoma who presented with a malformation on magnetic resonance imaging, incidentally demonstrating a T2 intense mass in the superficial lobe of the right parotid gland.

Purpose: To perform a quantitative multimodal evaluation in 25 patients with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS) without ocular complaints and to compare them with 25 healthy individuals.
Methods: A structural and functional ophthalmological evaluation using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and microperimetry (MP) exam in 25 patients with PAPS, followed at a tertiary rheumatology outpatient clinic, was performed. All ophthalmologic manifestations were documented and subsequent statistical analysis was performed for comparative purposes, with significance set at < 0.
